A Caesar to the breeze his banner flings,  An Alexander with his bloody spears,  A Herod heedless of his people's tears!  And Rome in ruin while Nero laughs and sings:  Ye actors of a drama, cruel and cold,  Your names are by-words in Love's temple now,  Your pomp and glory but a winding-sheet;  Then Christ came scorning regal power and gold  To wear warm blood-drops on a willing brow,  And we, in love, forever kiss His feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32368]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to see where the jobs land and where jobs open.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divine ashes are better then earthly meale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Divine ashes are better then earthly meale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  Love can forbear, and Love can forgive, ... but Love can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  Love can forbear, and Love can forgive, ... but Love can never be reconciled to an unlovely object...

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53653]]></link><description><![CDATA[The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a 25-year gap when it was difficult to put your foot in your mouth and have people all across the country know about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst government is the most moral.

To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have only, when before you glass, to keep pronouncing to yourself nimini-pimini; the lips cannot keep taking their plie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62044]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have only, when before you glass, to keep pronouncing to yourself nimini-pimini; the lips cannot keep taking their plie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything one thing is impossible: rationality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63607]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything one thing is impossible: rationality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.
